"Guys! Guys! Guys! Santa's coming to the lodge tonight! Santa's coming!" Tamaki cheered as he flung himself at Kyoya. "Kyoya! Santa! It's Santa! He's coming! Yahoo!" Tamaki jumped off Kyoya, the force pushing Kyoya over to the ground as Tamaki skipped over to Haruhi.
"Jeez, is he always like this?" Yuki asked Haruhi.
"Unfortunately, yes..." Haruhi sighed.
"And I have the most brilliant idea!" Tamaki suddenly exclaimed.
"Well, isn't this interesting..."
Tamaki has dragged everyone to a town a few miles away from the lodge at the bottom of the mountain and to the local church for the evening Christmas service. Yuki invited Emily, who was quickly bonding with Mori. It was so freaking cute that she calls him Takashi. They sort of had an unspoken communication between them, for they didn't talk much. But something was there.
"This'll be so much fun! And there's tons of Christmas cookies to eat afterwards!" Tamaki squealed.
"We're not all that religious..." Yuki muttered.
"My mother used to take me to the Christmas Eve service when I lived with her!" Tamaki added. Yuki smiled. The service was nice. It was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. They sang hymns and took communion together. They watched the Sunday school perform a mini skit on the birth of Jesus.
It was a candlelight service. They lit their candles at the end where they sang "Silent Night" in German. It was pretty funny because everyone screwed up with the pronunciation of the German lyrics except for Kyoya, who was fluent in German. The service was very nice also because this is the most silence they can get from Karen. And holy crap. Can Kyoya sing. Yuki never heard him sing, but she loved it. It was a bonus to his perfection. He had such a beautiful voice.
"And I've had no voice lessons! Can you believe it? All my life I've been such an amazing singer. Not a single voice lesson. One of my many talents." Karen babbled as Tamaki dragged them to the hall giving away Christmas cookies. Yuki internally rolled her eyes. She was ready to stuff a sock in Karen's mouth.
"Good for you." Yuki murmured, growing irritated. "You liked O Come, O Come Emmanuel? Your favorite, isn't it?" Yuki asked Kyoya.
"Yes. It is my favorite Christmas song." Kyoya replied, pushing his glasses up. Yuki noticed because he put forth the most into the hymn, if that makes sense. Yuki wasn't sure. It was just a feeling. She watched Kyoya wrap his arm around Karen's waist like he used to do with Yuki. Yuki was ready to crawl in a hole and cry again. She looked down at my feet, unable to watch much longer.
"Mmm! These cookies are amazing!" Yuki squealed in the cookie hall as she ate a sugar cookie. It was warm and buttery with a light layer of frosting and sprinkles and n the shape of a Christmas tree. Everyone agreed, except for Kyoya, who didn't eat any.
"Kyoya! Try a cookie!" Tamaki urged.
"No, thanks."
"Aw, c'mon. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, you'll like these cookies!" Yuki added, offering another cookie.
"You know I don't care for-" Yuki already popped the cookie in his mouth.
"Honestly, the only way to get you to eat anything is to shove it in your mouth." Yuki scowled. Kyoya broke off half the cookie and swallowed the half shoved in his mouth. And then he finished the other half. "Good, isn't it?"
"Yes. It was delicious." He admitted. Yuki grinned.
"Then have some more. There's plenty."
And Kyoya did the most un-Kyoya thing to do. He cupped Karen's chin, and bit off half of the cookie where the other bald was already in her mouth, much like what Yuki saw Hikaru do to Haruhi years ago. He's never done anything like that with Yuki. That is the most out of character you can get with Kyoya. He doesn't like sweets. And he isn't so publicly affectionate. He hardly was with Yuki. Maybe it's because he loves Karen and never really loved Yuki like she loves him.
Hikaru and Kaoru narrowed their eyes at them while everyone else gaped at them. Yuki couldn't look. She busied herself with eating a cookie. However she really wasn't hungry but it was all she had at hand to busy herself with.
"Yuki, you got frosting on your face," Hikaru said, licking the frosting off Yuki's face.
"And crumbs." Kaoru added, licking the crumbs off. Yuki blushed furiously in embarrassment and was completely thrown off guard. Why are Hikaru and Kaoru acting so weird lately?
"Thanks? But I could've washed it off or something..." She murmured.
"You shady twins! Stop sexually harassing my precious Yuki! We're all mature adults here!" Tamaki cried.
"I'm pretty sure Kyoya, Mori, and I are the only mature ones..." Haruhi muttered under her breath.
"On a scale of 1 to 100, how mature are you?" Emily asked Yuki and the twins.
"69." Everyone laughed.
"What about me, Haruhi?! I'm mature!" Tamaki whined.
"Well, you're more of a spaz than a mature adult." Haruhi replied bluntly, sending Tamaki to his dark corner. And then Karen started to babble that she's probably the most mature out of all them, but no one paid attention. The twins turned to Yuki to escape with her, however, she was gone. Emily pointed over to Yuki, who was helping the priest carry his papers and bibles.
The twins sighed, hating being stuck listening to Karen talk and talk and talk and talk. Honestly, there was no love there. Karen had feelings for Kyoya, but he didn't return them. He's only marrying Karen because she'll bring merit to the Ohtori family. But Kyoya was so perfect with Yuki. He still had feelings for her deep inside, and it was Hikaru and Kaoru's job to dig the, back out. It seems though that Kyoya is acting so strangely affectionate with Karen because he's trying to make Yuki jealous. Yuki is oblivious as ever, so it's their job to help fight back and save her from despair.
